January 9, 2026, 2:00 PM. Family, colleagues, and friends gathered at Connelly-McKinley Funeral Home in St. Albert, Alberta to say goodbye to Dale Russell Hopkins.
The RV industry he served for over three decades came out. The RVDA of Canada he chaired came out. The people whose lives he shaped — as a leader, a mentor, and a colleague — came out.
St. Albert is minutes from Morinville. Where it all started. Where it ended. Where people chose to remember him.
